The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 37

“You look hot in my shirt” he complimented the beauty in front of him. His t-shirt looks like a dress on her slender body. It’s three inches above Celestia’s knees.

The lady pouted at the compliment, she does not have any comfortable clothes to wear!

“My clothes were all dirty, we need to do laundry soon,” she said, dismayed.

She can play the piano and violin, she can dance waltz, ballet, and ballroom but why on earth she doesn’t know how to wash clothes? It’s a necessity!

She heaved a long sigh as she picks up her books and puts them on her luggage, she also included Adam’s clothes inside since there is still space due to almost all of her clothes being dirty.

“You look more beautiful naked though” the man replied, shamelessly winking at her! His eyes sparkling with amusement every time Celestia’s cheeks went red as tomatoes.

Remind her again where did the serious, cold-looking guy go? He’s been totally replaced by a pervert one!

She hits him lightly with the book in hand, “You s-shameless man!” she stutters.

Adam lightly chuckled at how adorable the lady is, she’s not even hurting him the tiniest bit! He made her stop by hugging her, his chin above Celestia’s head.

Everything went quiet after a while, they just embraced the silence and listened to both of their hearts screaming each other’s name.

Adam initiated a kiss, and Celestia responded to it with the same intensity. They made the best out of the moment, their time together, after all, is limited.

—

Celestia and Adam sorted out their things, it took them roughly three and a half to clean both the guest room and bathroom. An hour would’ve been enough if they did not play around and exchanged titillating banters.

Adam carried almost everything in his two hands, the floral luggage of Celestia, and a basket on the other hand for the dirty clothes, they will do the laundry tomorrow, even though they both don’t know how to wash clothes, they will ask Ted for instructions.

A strong smell of different perfumes came from the living room as they went down.

“Goodness gracious, are you alright Ashley?” Celestia hurriedly went to the woman who is in a deep clutter, even herself is such a mess! Piles of clothes are on Ted’s sofa, a number of broken make-ups and perfumes are scattered on the floor.

“I-I can’t stand u-up” she sobs, her mascara all over her perfectly symmetrical face.

Celestia felt pity for the loss state of Ted’s sister, although she did not like her past behavior, she now understands her, maybe the young model is in turmoil due to the spreading rumors about her.

“Here, let me help you,” Celestia offers her hand to Ashley.

The latter shakes her head, ignoring her, her body is slightly trembling…from what though?

Ashley glanced at the man standing on the corner with his hands inside his pocket. He’s watching them patiently, his eyes locked on the woman in front of her. Ashley’s anger rose but she did not show it.

” I-I’m tired, I c-can’t walk, y-you can’t carry me upstairs,” she speaks but her eyes far away.

With her frail body, it is impossible for Celestia to carry Ashley who is taller than her, much less carry her upstairs.

There is no other choice, they can’t possibly wake up Ted, right?

“Adam, can you carry her in the guest room? I’ll clean up this shards, it’s dangerous if anyone steps on them” Celestia called the man’s attention.

“I don’t want to,” he said coldly, his voice sent chills to Ashley, he doesn’t want to be near in another woman, much less touch them.

Celestia stands up from sitting beside Ashley and went to him whispering, “Please? Just this once?” her emerald eyes twinkling with the hope that the man will agree.

Now…how can he say no?

Celestia knows how to play her cards on him and it is always working.

He sighs and bore his eyes on Ted’s younger sister if only looks can kill, that woman is already dead the moment she arrived.

He gave Celestia one last look. and whispered to her in his husky voice, “I’m doing this because I love you”

Celestia held her breath at that moment, shivers went down her spine as her heart began to berserk again. Before she could say a word, Adam went on his way to Ashley.

His aura changed back to what he is before, ruthless, domineering and heartless.
